We were introduced to West Virginia Adventures....how should I say this......unexpectedly. Nevertheless, they couldn't have been more friendly, professional and accommodating to our family. With 4 children ranging between 10 and 6, we could only take a trip on the Upper New River. Although the rapids were less intense, the experience for our children was no less enjoyable. High praise to Randy and John Henry for taking the time and interest to make certain the kids were comfortable and enjoying the whole trip. At no time were the kids scared nor were we concerned about our safety - no the raft or on the ducky.
Although the New River Gorge is amazing from the rim and the bridge, its real beauty must be experienced from on the river. Just a completely different vantage point. The kicker, was just after running through a set of Class II rapids, a black bear came bounding out of the woods and swam across the rapids where we had momentarily floated. We all, guides included, just revealed in the beauty and splendor of nature.
We highly recommend them! We don't know how else the trip could have been improved - perhaps a couple of bald eagles next time? We will be back to run the lower or the Gauley when the kids are of age. Thanks again for everything.
